It’s my dad-birth today!


8 years ago

Around this time

I became a dad for the first time.

Today is my birthday as a dad

So, what do you call that?

Birth-dad?

Father birthday?

Dad-day?

Anyways…

In my family's culture this is day we parents celebrate.

We celebrate the day the parents became parents.

For the first, second, third, or tenth time…

Being a parent will push you to the furthers edges of life.

And I mean this!

The brightest places.

And the darkest places too.

Come on people,

We're talking about what life is made out of!

I'm talking about the creation of a new being.

Bringing a new being to life.

The seed that man and woman come together to give life to.

Being a parent will push you to your furthest edges.

My dream is to have more parents and people around me and my family.

The online screen world doesn't quite work for the children.

But, that is a topic for another time.

If you love children…

If you love life…

If you love music… (more than just the average person)

If you love stories… (telling, making and reinventing them)

If you love this world and would do what it takes to protect it…

If you love to experiment…

If you love to read, write, paint and create…

If you love to travel and discover the different biomes and cultures of this world…

If you want a nomadic village of artist travellers…

This is what I want for my birth-dad… Dad-birth… Dad-day… Whatever.

Let's connect!

Also, if you know someone or a family who wants this too, please, connect me with them.

That's all for today.

I’m so greateful to be a dad and for my children. Seeing their faces is a constant reminder of the miracle of life. Seeing them grow is the greatest wish I could ever ask for.

Happy Dad-day for those dad's out there rediscovering and inventing what it takes to be a dad in today's world.

Love, Jorge

P.S.: Here's a video to inspire you, shake you out of your zombie state and move your body to become a great dad:

Ok, here's the newest discovery from the 6-week Gameworld Bilder Training I started last week. Your family is a Gameworld. Again, I didn't know this a few days ago. I thought Gameworlds were more intentionally created systems. But that reveals my own Thoughtware about family. I didn't intentionally create my family. My family kinda just happened to me. I didn't consciously choose it. Until now. Every family is different. Each family is unique and has its own ecosystem. I don't believe in a...

You start new projects, but you never finish them. Starting something and not finishing it can feel like a curse. What happened that this pattern became what is? What got you here will not necessarily get you there. Teal Swan, an expert in human development and relationships, calls these the gatekeepers. The road to getting what you want isn't a straight line. I love the spark of starting something new ⭐! The excitement... The passion... The clarity... The motivation... The flow... But...

Hey, my weekly support and empowerment team is starting next week. We focus each week on one team member's projects. Reply "teamwork" to this email, and I'll send you the details. Ok, let's be blunt. Humans have feelings and emotions. You can stop hiding now. Humans are way more irrational and unreasonable than we like to think. → The way that we buy stuff... → The way we choose our partners... → The way we make friends... → And just generally the way we make decisions... These are all...
